Isaiah 10:20-34

²⁰On that day, the remnant of Israel, the family of Jacob that has escaped, will no longer rely on the one who defeated them, but will indeed depend on Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel.

²¹A remnant of Jacob will return to the mighty God.

²²For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the seashore, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, as overflowing righteousness demands.

²³For the Lord Yahweh of hosts, is about to carry out the destruction determined throughout the land.

²⁴Therefore the Lord Yahweh of hosts says, “My people who live in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian. He will strike you with the rod and raise his staff against you, as the Egyptians did.

²⁵Do not fear him, for in a very short time my anger against you will end, and my anger will lead to his destruction.”

²⁶Then Yahweh of hosts will wield a whip against them, as when he defeated Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise his rod over the sea and lift it up as he did in Egypt.

²⁷On that day, his burden is lifted from your shoulder and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of fatness.

²⁸The enemy has come to Aiath and has passed through Migron; at Michmash he has stored his provisions.

²⁹They have crossed over the pass and they lodge at Geba. Ramah trembles and Gibeah of Saul has fled.

³⁰Cry aloud, daughter of Gallim! Give attention, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!

³¹Madmenah is fleeing, and the inhabitants of Gebim run for safety.

³²This very day he will halt at Nob and shake his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

³³Behold, the Lord Yahweh of hosts will lop off the boughs with a terrifying crash; the tallest trees will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.

³⁴He will chop down the thickets of the forest with an ax, and Lebanon in his majesty will fall.
